On my drive home with my friend we encountered a cloud that dropped rain like a MONSOON! My car has never seen so much water in its life!

Ur car was squeekie clean when you left, had to ask my self if it was under a tarp the whole time... lol.

This was the best plan yet! I didn't have to wipe my car down after the rain!

Thanks for putting this together Scott and always nice to see old friends. We had to book early and didn't see you around to say good-bye.

Best part of the show was those 4 "ladies" in the white jump suits...definitely broke up the monotony of seeing BMW guys and their cars.....

Great event, thanks Scott and thanks to MAC and all the volunteers who did their part

and thank you Mr. Yellow taxi that smashed my car a week ago, the bandaid on my car was a real hit (no pun intended!)

Better yet, I think you started a new design trend. I saw a bunch of AW owners walking into Ace Hardware looking for black mystic tape.....

I'd like to take this opportunity to personally thank all of you, from all of us at Martino Auto Concepts / MAC Auto Couture for your tremendous support of the Gold Coast Concours and Bimmerstock 2010- 100% benefiting the Diabetes Research Institute.

Despite the less than stellar weather, the event was a SMASHING SUCCESS, and far exceeded even our wildest expectations!

With just under 400 cars registered, we knew it was going to be big... when 600+ cars showed up, we blown away (and, to be honest, slightly caught off guard).

All in all, everything went very smoothly, and a great time was had by all. We learned one thing- even closing an entire city is not enough space for all you guys! :thumbup:

Hope that everyone enjoyed all of the delicious food donated by all our fabulous food sponsors, who came through with reinforcements throughout the afternoon for all the extra people that showed that day. We had some serious chow!

In a way, we were actually fortunate with the weather! We made 500 gift bags for the almost 400 registered car owners, expecting that there would be some unregistered guests. I think if it was a beautiful day, we would have had over 1000+ cars! Our apologies if everyone did not get a goodie bag, hopefully going forward people will pre-register and give us a fighting chance of knowing how many people to plan and account for. Regardless if you recieved a a gift bag or not, I hope everyone had a fantastic time, saw amazing cars, and feels great that their $20 donation went 100% to finding a cure for Diabetes.

FROM MAC AND DRI- THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH

Thanks again for the spectacular display of support at Bimmerstock 2010. We are almost ready to announce the final total which was raised for the Diabetes Research Institute. Let me tell you that the Board of Directors from the DRI are super impressed with the dedication the Bimmer community had for Bimmerstock 2010.

If this is going down next year again, I would hope they allow us to park the cars on the streets like the exotics....There was plenty of empty spaces on the streets and I am sure you can make the exotics more bunch together! Just a suggestion since the BMW community was a large bunch to the charity
